Culturally Responsive Approaches to Evaluation: Empirical Implications for Theory and Practice de Jill Anne Chouinard

Culturally Responsive Approaches to Evaluation: Empirical Implications for Theory and Practice: Evaluation in Practice Series, cartea 4

Autor Jill Anne Chouinard, Fiona Cram
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 dec 2019
Evaluators have always worked in diverse communities, and the programs they evaluate are designed to address often intractable socio-political and economic issues. Evaluations that explicitly aim to be more responsive to culture and cultural context are, however, a more recent phenomenon. This book utilizes a conceptual framework that foregrounds culture in social inquiry, and then uses that framework to analyze empirical studies across three distinct cultural domains of evaluation practice (Western, Indigenous and international development). The authors provide a comparative analysis of these studies and discuss lessons drawn from them in order to help evaluators extend their current thinking and practice. They conclude with an agenda for future research.

Recenzii

This book provides an in-depth look at the relationships between culture and evaluation/research. Prepare yourself for a read that will transform your practice! 

This is one of those rare texts which can serve both as an introduction and as an advanced consideration of evaluation. 

Everyone conducting social scientific research should have this essential resource on their shelf -- since not every program evaluator is an anthropologist, this is the next best thing to inform your thinking about culturally responsive practices in program evaluation. 

Well-done and much-needed text on an important topic in program evaluation. 

This book can guide evaluators to create a future for evaluation that could lead to improved responsiveness to the needs of members of marginalized communities, and increase the transformative contribution of evaluation to improved social justice in the world.
